Transmeta(tm) crusoe(tm) longrun(tm) support

Usage

LongRun support is a collection of power saving modes for the Transmeta Crusoe chips, similar in scope to Intel's SpeedStep. The following sysctl(8) MIBs control the different CPU modes:

NameTypeChangeableDescription
hw.crusoe.longrunintegeryesLongRun mode:
0: minimum frequency mode
1: power-saving mode
2: performance mode
3: maximum frequency mode
hw.crusoe.frequencyintegernoCurrent frequency (MHz).
hw.crusoe.voltageintegernoCurrent voltage (mV).
hw.crusoe.percentageintegernoProcessing performance (%).

Examples

Print the current status:

% sysctl hw.crusoe

To set LongRun mode to performance oriented variable frequency mode (less power savings):

# sysctl hw.crusoe.longrun=2

History

The Transmeta(TM) Crusoe(TM) LongRun(TM) support first appeared in FreeBSD 4.4.
